The other day I devoted an entire blog post to my husband’s favorite recipes of 2010, month by month. Seems a little lovey-dovey, no? Well let me assure you that my love affair extends further. To you, and you, and YOU.

I mean, what’s the point of blogging without readers? So I need to make a moment to thank all of you for the time you spend reading my recipes and taking an interest in my life. Every time you visit and leave a comment, it truly makes my day. I love the support from my “core” group of blogging friends (you know who you are!) and pop-in visits from people who’ve just stumbled upon my little place for the first time. Which is why I decided to highlight the Readers’ Choice Top 12, selected by the highest number of comments. I disqualified a couple because they overlapped with Ben’s Top 12, and I wanted to present you with a unique set of recipes today. But I’m not worried about it – these are all great choices! If your favorite didn’t get picked, I suggest you start commenting more often 🙂

Black Bean & Avocado BrowniesIncidentally this was also my most controversial post – it turns out most people love ’em or hate ’em. Fortunately, there was a lot more love than hate.

Southwestern Egg & Black Bean Skillet2010 was certainly a big year for eggs on Cara’s Cravings, and I was thinking of an entire separate recap. But I couldn’t deny you this delicious dish in your round-up.

Crispy Coconut Tofu NuggetsTo be honest I was a little surprised hubby didn’t pick these, considering how much he gushed about them the first time around (and second, and third) – but I’m glad you did!

Once again, thank you for all your kind visits and feedback this year. 2010 has been a year of much improvement to the quality of my cooking and blogging (at least, I’d like to think so!) and you have been a huge part of that.

Fantastic recap. I think I was definitely one of the commenters on most of these :)I made the chili los mariscos last week and my husband was ALL about it. And the avocado brownies have been on the top of my list forever. Seriously, I need to make them!!

Cara, this is such an awesome line up of recipes from 2010. You are an amazing recipe developer. High quality, healthy ingredients prepared in your signature style. Can't wait to see what you will be cooking up in 2011! xo
